Soldiers with the 1st Aviation Brigade at Fort Rucker, Alabama, lined up for a 100 percent mandatory drug urinalysis test this week, post officials confirmed.
The test involved more than 1,700 soldiers, said Fort Rucker spokesman Jimmie E. Cummings, Jr. It comes as commanders at the post announced they were resuming flight training on Monday following a two-week pause during the coronavirus pandemic.
Pictures of the mass testing circulated on social media on Tuesday, prompting some speculation and jokes that the testing was related to the recent cannabis holiday on April 20, also pronounced “four-twenty."
